Why did the plane crash in flight movie?

Like in the film, the pilots of Alaska 261 rolled the airplane to an inverted position to try to stabilize the flight. The root cause of the crash was found to be inadequate maintenance of the airplane’s stabilizer “jackscrew,” which caused its threads to wear down excessively and eventually jam the jackscrew.Click to see full answer. Moreover, what happened in the movie flight?All right: The movie is about an airline Captain who flies a plane drunk and high on coke. BUT WHO ALSO happens to be a great pilot, so that when there is a huge technical malfunction onboard, he is able to bring the plane to a reasonable crash landing, rather than a nosedive. Six people are killed.Furthermore, who was the real pilot in the movie flight? Writer John Gatins based the scene loosely on Alaska Airlines Flight 261, which crashed into the Pacific Ocean en route to San Francisco in 2000. As in the film, pilot Ted Thompson amazingly rolled the stricken craft upside down to try and slow its descent. Accordingly, is it possible to fly a plane upside down? The answer is yes for a “little” bit! Unlike military fighters, commercial planes do not have the engine power for sustained inverted flight and rely on lift from the wings. Commercial airliners are only tested and certified for upright flight.” However, one Boeing aircraft has flown upside down – twice!Can you fly a 747 upside down?Short answer yes any aircraft can be flown upside down if properly equipped. Long answer no. You need inverted fuel, and oil system which the 747 doesn’t have. You possibly could get it upside down but your engines would flame out immediately.
